Object Storage Service:Use OSS SDK for PHP to configure a Referer whitelist or blacklist to prevent other websites from linking to your OSS objects

Last Updated:Mar 12, 2024

You can configure a Referer whitelist or a Referer blacklist and specify whether to allow a request with an empty Referer for an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket to prevent unauthorized access to resources in the bucket and unexpected traffic fees.

Usage notes

  • Before you configure hotlink protection, make sure that you familiarize yourself with this feature. For more information, see Hotlink protection.

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

  • To configure hotlink protection for a bucket or delete the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket, you must have the oss:PutBucketReferer permission. To query the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketReferer permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Configure hotlink protection for a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to configure hotlink protection for a bucket:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;
use OSS\Model\RefererConfig;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "examplebucket";

$refererConfig = new RefererConfig();
// Specify whether to allow requests with an empty Referer. 
$refererConfig->setAllowEmptyReferer(true);
// Specify a Referer whitelist. You can use asterisks (*) and question marks (?) as wildcards in Referers. 
$refererConfig->addReferer("http://wwww.aliyun.com");
$refererConfig->addReferer("https://wwww.aliyun.com");
// $refererConfig->addReferer("http://wwww.help.aliyun.com");
// $refererConfig->addReferer("http://www.?.aliyuncs.com");
try{
    $config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

    $ossClient->putBucketReferer($bucket, $refererConfig);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}
print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");

Query the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the hotlink configurations of a bucket:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;
use OSS\Model\RefererConfig;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";

$refererConfig = null;
try{
    $config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

    $refererConfig = $ossClient->getBucketReferer($bucket);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}
print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");
print($refererConfig->serializeToXml() . "\n");
            

Delete the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to delete the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;
use OSS\Model\RefererConfig;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";

$refererConfig = new RefererConfig();
try{
    $config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

    // The hotlink protection configurations of a bucket cannot be directly deleted. You must configure a new hotlink protection rule that allows allow requests with an empty Referer to overwrite the existing hotlink protection configurations. 
    $ossClient->putBucketReferer($bucket, $refererConfig);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}
print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");
